I think one reason Obama is so agressively pursuing every individual vote,
states which are traditionally red (take a look at what's happening in WV,
e.g. -- and even Arizona!), is that he wants such an overwhelming landslide

the interview. That's going to speak volumes to the hard-core centrist
Republicans in the country. One headline I saw this morning was "Colin

from the very beginning of Obama's campaign that he and his rather brilliant
team excel at long term strategy and being aware of all the various
pitfalls. They do great contingency planning and anticipatory planning.
Call it insanity, womens' intuition, naivete, or gas .... when I heard O's
2004 speech my immediate thought was, he's going to be President. And all
along the way -- his seemingly impossible race against Hillary, and
everything since, I just have this calm feeling that he'll be inaugurated
this January. So sue me -- or commit me.
I have a good friend in NY in his early 70s -- we've talked politics off and
on for years. He too, Eric, feels as though the rep's and dem's are simply
